What is FSEconomy?

FSEconomy is a multi-player "persistent world" add-on for flight simulators, with an economical focus. It is "persistent" because the aspects of the game - aircraft location and fuel levels, etc. - are controlled by the players. Other players see changes in these items within the "game world".

FSEconomy is not a Virtual Airline. There is no schedule; there are no "levels"; there are no requirements to start from the bottom and work your way up. However, many VAs do use the FSEconomy system to operate their VA.

FSEconomy strives to be a framework within which players can decide what FSE is to them... their "style of play" is the phrase frequently used. It is an open-ended platform, allowing each member to tailor their experience to their individual liking. Some members choose to use FSEconomy completely on their own; others choose to work with a few other players; and still others choose to join one or more communities of made up of dozens of other players.

The basic concept of FSEconomy is that players use aircraft to move virtual passengers or cargo. Players can own their own aircraft, or rent them from other players or from "the system". Players must be aware of their aircraft's capabilities and fuel levels so that they can carry the cargo selected, or to not become stranded at an airport without fuel. There are many expenses associated with every flight - rental charges, fuel costs, etc.; as well as income from the virtual passengers or cargo. The goal is to make more income than associated operating expenses.

The FSE Server will be shutdown on Friday evening, February 4th 2022, at approximately midnight UTC time. Equivalent times: 7pm on Friday US Eastern time, 4pm US Pacific Time, as well as Saturday morning at 8am in western Australia, 10am in eastern Australia, and noon in New Zealand. (Sorry - can't do everyone's time zones; please determine when this is for you)

This will affect both the FSE Game World and the FSE Community Forums.

We will be performing multiple upgrades to the server OS and additional system services, allowing us to then do some much needed updates to the forum software which should hopefully restore our capabilities to send emails and re-open the registration process.

Outage duration is very unknown. Obviously, we will attempt to keep it as short as possible. We are hoping to be complete by the end of the weekend, while simultaneously keeping our fingers crossed that it will be less than a week.

Discord will still be active, and as we bring various systems back online we might post there for some testers to come and help make sure things are working as needed.

Thanks for your patience while we go through this process and your support over the years.

Terms of Service

Most websites have a user agreement or EULA of some sort. FSEconomy is no exception. However, unlike other sites where you "agree" without actually reading, the FSE ToS is very important to our game play. Many of our game world's rules are integrity based (not software enforced), and violating these rules (knowingly or unknowingly) can result in the loss of your account.

Please take a few minutes to read over our rules, and agree to play according to the "Spirit of FSE" before requesting an account.
